If McCain fails to pick Romney it's game over. 4 years of higher taxes, gun control, and socialized medicine for illegal aliens. We are well on the way to a great depression with Obama at the helm.

Comments such that if Romney is not on the ticket then no campaigning or voting for McCain. Romney lost in the primaries and he will be unable to bring voters to the ticket if chosen VP. He was unpopular to the voters of essentially all the other candidates because of his dirty policitcs and their votes voiced it. Voters think he is arrogant, and do not like his personality or the way he communicates. I personally am disgusted by his condescending attitude and his self-centeredness. He would be more like a dictator than a leader. I think he wants a VP spot, not to support McCain but for himself, thinking it would help him get elected President in the 2012 election. If he ends up on the ticket,then I would bet that he bought the VP spot. I find him disingenuous and untrustworthy. I think if he were President he would have a very hard time uniting America. I would never vote for him and the idea of a McCain-Romney ticket is repulsive to me.

A follow up to my previous post, with regards to the accuracy of intrade.com. During the 2006 Senate races, they picked the winners with 100% correct. It's one thing to take exit on online polls as the truth but when you a choice by using your own money, that changes the result.

Middle Class Guy Here. I supported Romney because I have met him and he is nothing like everyone says. He is a true conservative. But Mccain, know this, by not choosing Romeny, you cost yourself the Following States : Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Michigan and Florida.

So I hope you enjoy being underfunded, supported by bigoted Hukphonies who dislike you, with the great state of Minnesota squarely behind.Oh yeah, that's right, Mondale carried that state...I guess history does repeat itself.

Hope it's not true that Romeny's out.

It's now 5:21PM PST and McCain will announce Tim Pawlenty as VP. The proof is on www.intrade.com. this website is seldom, if ever wrong and you can see the huge bump Pawlenty got and the same drop for Romney. We won't have to wait till tomorrow. I do agree with a previous post that Romney would make a perfect Sec. of the Treasury.

As an independent, and almost always voting democrat, will be voting for republican McCain when he picks Joe Lieberman.

Your sources are wrong. You want Romney out, but it's not going to happen. ROMNEY IS IN... THE MOST QUALIFIED VP CANDIDATE WHO CAN DEBATE BIDEN..

just watch it, it will be ROMNEY ALL THE WAY.

GO MCCAIN/ROMNEY...

HUCKABOOM YOUR STRATEGY DID NOT WORK...BYE BYE...YOU BAD MOUTH ROMNEY AND NOW ROMNEY IS IN.

If this is really true, than I'm out. Romney would be the

only reason for my McCain vote.

Romney is by far the best choice for V.P. NO ROMNEY - NO VOTE
